Playgroup at St Hildas Island Bay Starts again next Friday (9th Feb)
After the break Playtime begins again - 9.00 to 12.00 on Friday this week at St HIlda's, 311 The Parade (opposite Patricia's Pies)
A great time for toddlers to play with a huge range of toys and mind building activities. There is also our sheltered outside play area to have fun. Come and meet other caregivers and parents as well as grandparents, and swap notes!
We provide drinks and some nibbles for everyone, and we are always on hand to discuss any issues or concerns you might have.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Moe mai rฤ, Nicholas.
